Photo Analysis

 

In this photo, I think the photographer focused mainly on lines, shape, and color, when these three elements are put together in this photo, the visual effects are very unreal.

I would give this photo a title named:”a dying pupil”. First, because of the eye-catching combination of the formal elements. A circle, lines, if you see these two elements seperately, it wouldn’t be rather “surprising”, yet if you be creative and combine them together, you can eventually have a photo like this. The unique and creative combination of shape and lines has created a photo that somehow looks like an extreme close-up of a pupil. That’s why I would call it a pupil for the title. I also said that the pupil is “dying”, mainly because of the color tone. It has a greyish black and white color tone, which gives us a rusty, old, and decaying feeling. Therefore, I will name this photo “a dying pupil”

The use of formal elements in this photo is very delicate and careful. With the circle in the middle, countless lines are beaming towards it, which creates a very interesting visual effect, which is that, when you look at the photo, you can see the objects, elements very big or very small, both looks very natural. Lastly, the elements are carefully positioned in order to give us a feeling of organization and carefulness when the photo was taken.
